Subject: [PATCH V2 5/7] Correcting truncation error for constant HV_CRASH_CTL_CRASH_NOTIFY

From: Nick Meier <nmeier@...rosoft.com>

HV_CRASH_CTL_CRASH_NOTIFY is a 64 bit number.  Depending on the usage context,
the value may be truncated. This patch is in response from the following
email from Intel:

    [char-misc:char-misc-testing 25/45] drivers/hv/vmbus_drv.c:67:9: sparse:
                   constant 0x8000000000000000 is so big it is unsigned long

    head:   b3de8e3719e582f3182bb504295e4a8e43c8c96f
    commit: 96c1d0581d00f7abe033350edb021a9d947d8d81 [25/45] Drivers: hv: vmbus: Add support for VMBus panic notifier handler
    reproduce:
      # apt-get install sparse
      git checkout 96c1d0581d00f7abe033350edb021a9d947d8d81
      make ARCH=x86_64 allmodconfig
      make C=1 CF=-D__CHECK_ENDIAN__

    sparse warnings: (new ones prefixed by >>)
